Last night I sat and watched the debate, Yes I watched the whole debate. Why? Well I thought that I might learn something and I did, but I still am not sure who I am voting for. I know who I am not.
Right now I am leaning more toward the Democrats, but I don’t know who I am going to vote for. All of the candidates made great points that I agree with. One being that health care in the united states is broken and needs to be fixed. What surprised me was that I agree with the Republican way to do it, and the democrat ways of doing it. Do I think government should take over health insurance. Yes, but they need strict regulations and if they can work with the insurance companies already here then maybe we can get both cheep health care and keep the good health care we have.
The Economy was another topic that interested me, I don’t think they covered it enough though. I have been saying for the last 3 years that the United states was going to go into a recession. Our president has ignored the signs and now we are in trouble. Yes he is now trying to find a way to stop it. But I think it just might be too late. The candidates all had some great ideas and of course many would probably help fix the economy. I loved it when one candidate asked “what happened to the democratic party? They use to be the party of the people.” I agree that the image has changed, but some of the ideas for the economy prove that these people still see the core values of there party. Tax cuts for the middle class and more taxes for the wealthy, the wealthy have money, they can afford to eat and pay there bills. Middle class people cant. My family is struggling again after just being able to get on their feet for once. My mother thought she might be able to retire by the time she is 70, but now it doesn’t look like it. She may NEVER be able to retire. Thats a sad thought, but a truth.
They of course covered the war, the Republicans in support of what is going on the Democrats against it. I agree with the Democrats that the solders need to be brought home as soon as possible, but with a plan and without causing ciaos in Iraq. I have said before that the only way to get Iraq to do anything and start taking responsibility for their own country is to pull out our troops and show that we will not be there forever.
I found the debate enlightening, but still not helpful for me. Of course I will not be voting in the Michigan primary because we have been told that unless we vote for a candidate our vote will not be counted. I am a Hillary supporter but at the same time, I’m not sure she is the one I want in office yet. I like her views but there are others I like as well. Having one choice is not right. Knowing that my vote will not matter is a huge turn off in this election. Michigan has had enough problems, why punish us for something our government decided to do. We didn’t vote to have the primary’s moved. The government choose it.
That is why I like that some candidates have come to the conclusion that the people need to be more involved in government and feel like they are more involved. If not the whole foundation of this country is being ignored and could be lost forever.
